Case Report: Hereditary angioedema masquerading as gastroenteritis.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hereditary angioedema with C1-inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1INH) is a rare bradykinin-mediated disorder that may present predominantly with gastrointestinal symptoms, leading to diagnostic delay and unnecessary interventions. We report a 26-year-old man with recurrent abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, bowel wall edema, and transient ascites since 2022, repeatedly misdiagnosed as infectious gastroenteritis. He also reported recurrent hand and foot swelling. Complement testing showed low C4 and reduced C1-inhibitor function, and repeat testing confirmed low C1-inhibitor antigen and function, supporting type 1 HAE-C1INH. During follow-up, genetic testing identified a heterozygous likely pathogenic nonsense variant in SERPING1, NM_000062.3:c.1480C>T (p.Arg494Ter/R494*). Family investigation of 50 relatives identified 13 clinically suspected affected individuals, including three who reportedly died from laryngeal edema; laboratory confirmation was available for the proband and two relatives. This case emphasizes that recurrent, self-limited abdominal attacks with transient ascites should prompt C4 and C1-inhibitor testing and family counseling.
